could take any body from a 2003 or 04 perhaps and then i would have a newer car worth more and not be looseing out by spending money to have a paint job doen
but im thinking this is just a pipe dream
ill probably have the car sprayed the same color but have them add some more metalic in for a little more glitter shot

Re: 99 STS Project

I used hot water power washer, brake clean and emery cloth. But don't forget this was a total rebuild so it did not mater what I used. DO NOT USE scotch pads they leave very fine particals were you do not want them and can lead to major engine faliure.

Re: 99 STS Project

Put 50 miles on it tonight All I have to say is what a awsome ride. Corsa exhaust sounds sweet just the perfect sound for me. Temp gauge stayed at 12 most of the time went past 12 but never to 1 and came right back to 12. Only have one problem as of now. Once out of every 5 stops when in gear it stalls, starts right back up. Car idles like a brand new car and never misses a beat going down the road. It has been parked since last june and half a tank of fuel, mabee old gas is the stalling problem. I did fill it up with 93 octane so I will see how it goes tomorrow and check to see if it has any codes. MIL light never came on so I dont think it is a sensor issue. But just the short drive I did tonight I will say this it was deff. worth the $6000 and labor I have in it AWSOME CAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!
